According to the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), at least 10 humanitarian workers from Relief International were among the dead. UNICEF reported that 23 children were killed.

UN Secretary-General António Guterres condemned the killings, with the UN’s Sudan Coordinator calling for an immediate end to hostilities and justice for victims.

The International Organization for Migration (IOM) said around 16,000 people fled Zamzam, while additional clashes in Um Kadadah left over 50 dead and 900 homes destroyed. Nearly 19,000 people have been displaced from the region since Thursday.

OCHA warned of worsening humanitarian conditions, including critical shortages of food, water, and fuel.

2Relief supplies are being mobilized, but access remains limited due to insecurity. The World Health Organization noted that over 160 attacks on health facilities have occurred since Sudan’s civil conflict began in April 2023.

The Zamzam refugee camp is one of the largest internally displaced persons camps in Sudan, located 15 kilometres south of Al-Fashir, North Darfur.
